Each experience offers a closer look at the traditions that continue to shape Mykonian life. The name “Rizes” carries a deep connection to the essence of the farmstead and the heritage it represents. In Greek, the word “rizes” means “roots,” symbolizing the strong foundations that connect the people of Mykonos with their land, traditions, and history. Just as roots nourish and sustain a tree, the values, memories, and customs passed down through generations continue to give life to the island’s culture. At Rizes Folklore Farmstead, the name reflects a journey back to these origins, inviting visitors to discover the traditions, flavors, and stories that form the true character of Mykonos. Rizes Folklore Farmstead is more than a place to visit.
